Hike past the Heiligengeistklamm (Holy Ghost Gorge) – perfect as a refreshing place to cool off during a hot day's hiking!

Destination

Town center in Leutschach

Turn-by-turn directions

The route runs over surfaced roads, forest and meadow trails.

The first mini golf course is located at the old local municipal offices in Eichberg-Trautenburg, opposite the Kniely Haus Leutschach cafe. From here, walk to the town hall/car park and take the Friedensweg trail towards the Freibad Leutschach (outdoor swimming pool). Passing the outdoor pool, head towards the lower market square, before turning right towards Schlossberg. The second mini golf course can be found at the former Schlossberg municipal offices. From here, follow the walking trail to the Weingut Strohmeier winery (Teichbauer), where there is another mini golf course. Then it's on through the hops and elderberry fields to the Weingut Buschenschank Albrecher (Sraka) where the next station awaits. A short uphill stretch through the forest brings you to the Weingut Albracher (Unterer Muhri) wine estate, where two mini golf courses are located. A vineyard trail and asphalted road lead you to the Buschenschank Poscharnig (Ruadl) tavern. After playing these two courses, you can continue your hike along the trail to the station at Postl (Koschutta). From here, you can start making your way back towards the pumpkin seed oil mill. In the forest, turn right towards Toderberg and the Weingut Peitler (Spitzy) wine estate, where you will find the penultimate mini golf course. Then it's on past Trautenburg Castle back to Schloßberg, to the final stop at the Leutschach Brewery. The trail then runs back past the outdoor pool in Leutschach on its way back to the starting point.

Comfortable hiking footwear is recommended. It is possible to go "hiking without a backpack" on the Wine Trails on the South Styrian Wine Road, but we still recommend taking a bottle of water with you – just in case!
